+# Font Families
+
+Use this when choosing or answering questions about `fontFamily` for Text, TextInput, RichText, or nested Items text Bricks.
+
+## Runtime Rules
+
+- Use exact family names from the target platform list; BRICKS matches comma-separated fallbacks left-to-right on native platforms.
+- Prefer cross-platform stacks such as `Arial, sans-serif`, `Helvetica, Roboto, sans-serif`, `Times New Roman, serif`, or `Courier New, monospace` when the same project runs on iOS/tvOS and Android.
+- Android supports generic system families plus `Roboto`; iOS/tvOS use the larger built-in Apple font set below.
+- Web keeps the supplied CSS font-family value. Native ignores unsupported names unless a dynamically loaded or Google Font preload resolves them.
+- Google Fonts can be used by setting a Google font family and letting the config preload path materialize it; keep a platform fallback after it, for example `Roboto Mono, monospace`.

If no PDF skill or local PDF tool is installed and you cannot inspect the PDF fully, stop and respond in chat with the limitation instead of designing from partial evidence. Never proceed from only page 1.
+- **Large rendered PDF pages** — do not hand the vision tool 4-13 MB page PNGs and call the PDF unreadable. Downsample to inspection-sized JPEG/PNG previews, split long PDFs into page batches, and keep a page coverage checklist so every page is either inspected or explicitly marked inaccessible.

 **Tell:** a brick's `pressable: 'enabled'` carries a press scale-down animation, but the deployment is a 75" no-touch signage panel. **Why bad:** the affordance promises something the hardware cannot deliver; the design reads as "ported from web." **Fix:** drop hover on no-touch; convert to a Switch driven by a non-pointer signal (sensor, timer, peripheral Generator) if the visual intent matters.
 
 ### 10. AI-generated brand imagery without a real brand-reference anchor
-**Tell:** a generated "brand-appropriate" hero image that nobody at the brand has ever seen, produced from a prompt like "modern tech product on a gradient." **Why bad:** generation without anchoring produces uncanny-valley assets that feel adjacent to the brand without being the brand. **Fix:** anchor every generation on at least one verified brand asset (logo, real photo, official color sample); apply 5-10-2-8; log generation metadata in `brand-spec.md`. (See [Media Flow protocol § Creating assets when missing](when-the-brief-is-branded.md#creating-assets-when-missing).)

The comment is not for the runtime; it is for *you*, when you next look at the file and consider adding a third colour or a fourth gap value. The block's existence is what holds the line.
